E-cigarettes should be banned in public places because they ‘normalise’ smoking, a leading doctor has said.

Surgeon Ram Moorthy urged so-called ‘vaping’ to be banned in the same places that smoking is prohibited.

No medical justification there. Just that e-cigs supposedly ‘normalise’ smoking. Doctors now seem to think they can say what is and isn’t normal. Or what should and shouldn’t be normal. When did that become their job?

And then there are the calls for restrictions on sugar, salt, soda, etc.

And what kind of idiot thinks that there’s a ‘tobacco epidemic’? There isn’t one. Tobacco is a plant, not a disease.

I was wondering yesterday why nobody in government seems to realise that these doctors have all gone bonkers. It seems perfectly obvious to me. So why not to them?

I suppose that part of the problem is that doctors are excessively highly respected. And another part of the problem is that there seem to be one hell of a lot of fruitcakes in the medical profession these days. So it’s not just one nutcase calling for more or less everything to be banned, but a whole army of them.

Sooner or later, people are going to have to face the fact that the medical profession has gone collectively insane, and that it needs to be purged.

So I’ve been wondering how to purge the medical profession of nutty doctors. I started out thinking that doctors would be interviewed, and asked their opinions. Those that thought that all diseases were caused by smoking would be kicked out of the profession. Those who didn’t would be retained.

But what if they lied? What if they pretended not to bothered by smoking, drinking, fast food, etc.

So I came up with a different test. A doctor would be told to sit in a small waiting room before being interviewed. He’d be kept under observation in the waiting room. After he’d been in there a couple of minutes, somebody would come in, sit down, and light a cigarette, and start reading a newspaper. If the doctor failed to respond to this, a second man would come in, sit down, and light another cigarette, and start talking to the first man. And so on, until the waiting room was filled with more and more people, and a dense fog of smoke.

If the doctor remained sitting quietly, patiently waiting to be interviewed, someone would come in holding a can of beer and smoking a cigarette. And somebody else would come in eating a carton of burgers and chips.

The waiting room would gradually turn into something like a noisy, smoky pub.

After an hour or two of this, the doctor would finally be called in for his interview. Any doctor who actually managed to make it to the interview would be deemed to have passed the test with full marks, and would become a fully qualified doctor, no further questions asked. Because the interview would be a formality. But any doctor who walked out of the waiting room, complained, fainted, or started screaming like a banshee, would be deemed to have failed the test, and would not qualify as a doctor.

And the doctor who started his interview by saying, “I really loved the waiting room! I haven’t seen people having such a good time since smoking was banned!” would become the president of the doctors’ medical association.

Nice test, Frank. One smoker….. two smokers…… ten smokers? I think your test would weed out the rabid antismokers with just one person brandishing a cigarette…. no need for even lighting it. The antismoking nut case would jump from their seat as if propelled by jet engines, assume the standard “hands waving frantically at head height” position, scream at the top of their voice “you’re killing me, you’re killing me”, and rush headlong through the closed door.

Believe it or not Frank, you have just described my Old GP’s waiting room in Emden Germany back in the late 80s. People even used to ‘shoot up’ in there.Openly in plain view. How that Doc retained his approbation is a mystery and can only have involved sums of money being passed in dark places. The GP himself was a morphium addict and regularly fell asleep during consultation. He was also a medical genius and former ‘Wunderkind’ of the German postwar medical world and even smacked out of his head on medical grade opium he was a better clinician than many of todays clean shaven, clean living and clean thinking GPs.

OT. New Jersey legislature just passed a statewide park and beach ban. It now goes to Christie’s desk along with other proposals that he says he’ll consider carefully. Be interesting to see what happens from a man who wants to tax cigs at cig rates–and wants to be president. Also in the same batch of bills is a ban on employers asking potential employees if they have a criminal record. I guess NJ doesn’t want to discriminate against murderers and probably even let’s them use parks and beaches. Sorry can’t give a link from my iPad. But it’s at Clash’s FB page along with the usual hateful ant rants.

The late Dr. Dunbar once gently chastised me when I complained about doctors. He said I should blame the Department of Health where the rules are made up.

That’s where the nutcases and sadists invent their new rules and doctors, earning fabulous salaries way beyond their efforts and skills, are practically all afraid to rock the boat and jeopardise their careers and pensions.

“I was wondering yesterday why nobody in government seems to realise that these doctors have all gone bonkers. It seems perfectly obvious to me. So why not to them?”

They are all bonkers too, or subversives or just hate-filled or simply ignorant and believe the bonker-merchants.

The MPs and MSPs I have met are simple. They are good at talking (somehow). They always have answers with which they expect to put you down with if you complain.

A former local councillor friend recently told me that the Health Board, which he used to work alongside, exists to protect the image of the NHS, not the wellbeing of the patient. I told this to a friend who works for the NHS (who never talks ill of anyone, normally) and she said they don’t look after their staff either.

It’s all a game; part of the bigger picture. The dingbats, haters and social engineers are chosen to rise to the top of their profession. that’s why we have ‘registered charities’ things like Forum for the Future,

Since 1996 our Masters in Leadership for Sustainable Development has been training the sustainability leaders of the future. Last year we celebrated the graduation of our 165th student, and many graduates are already making their mark as think-tank directors and government advisers.

That’s nothing compared to another ‘charity’, Common Purpose whose numbers vary depending on the source from 20,000 to 80,000 pro-EU infiltrators ejected into positions of influence to prepare the country’s institutions for total EU/globalist rule.

And there are an estimated 27,000 fake, i.e. mainly government-funded charities. These two I singled out might not even count in that figure, as they charge their big corporate and governmental clients tuition fees for their ‘courses’.

This is really what we’re up against. A very well organised army of subversive infiltrators rather than just nutcase doctors. The fact that most doctors are, in fact, nutcases based on my experience, certainly doesn’t help. And MPs seem especially keen to believe absolutely everything that an ‘expert’ claims. Then there’s the mainstream media reporting fake ‘science’, press releases from fake ‘charities’ and ‘findings’ from assorted ‘experts’ as indisputable facts. Altogether, it’s a destructive concoction of deceit and naivety.

‘The main active ingredient in cigarettes is nicotine. Nicotine acts by binding to a specific type of receptor on neurons (nerve cells) called the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. Acetylcholine is one of the main signaling molecules (neurotransmitters) that neurons use to communicate with one another. Nicotine suppresses food intake, increases energy expenditure, and lowers body fatness. Smokers tend to be leaner than non-smokers, and they rapidly gain weight when they quit. Administering nicotine to rodents under controlled conditions also reduces food intake and body weight substantially.

Since the brain (and particularly the hypothalamus) is the organ in charge of regulating food intake and body fatness, one might guess that nicotine acts there either directly or indirectly. As predicted, nicotine infused directly into the hypothalamus reduces food intake, and a recent high-impact paper demonstrated in mice that nicotine exerts its effects on food intake primarily via POMC cells, a type of neuron in the hypothalamus that is important for the regulation of food intake and body fatness.’http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.ru/2012/02/cigarette-smoking-another-factor-in.html

Russia Pulls In More Than $500K in Fines From Rebel Smokers

Since January, more than half a million dollars (17.4 million rubles) in fines have been collected from smokers evading Russia’s crackdown on cigarettes, the Federal Consumer Protection Service announced on Sunday.

The month of June alone saw the issuance of 8 million rubles in fines. Over 2,700 fines have been handed out since January.

Russia’s newly bolstered anti-smoking legislation, part of a wider government campaign to change the public’s attitude to smoking and promote a healthier lifestyle, has been implemented in stages since it was passed last summer.

The first stage saw smoking banned near public places like schools, hospitals, stores and playgrounds in the summer of 2013.

The ban was then expanded to include train stations, hotels, restaurants and cafes on June 1 this year.

Of those slapped with fines so far this year, 1,800 were individuals, more than 700 individual sellers of tobacco products and about 150 legal entities, the agency said, RIA Novosti reported.

E-cigarettes should be banned in public places because they ‘normalise’ smoking, a leading doctor has said.

Wasn’t the smoking ban all about this “dangerous” passive smoke? Since vaping is NOT smoking, there is NO PASSIVE SMOKE.

This leading doctor is getting a little too carried away; he has no idea what he is talking about, too!! Vaping “normalising” smoking? To me, smoking is NORMAL behaviour and so is vaping. Get over it, doc!

Aside from alienating their patients and causing many to lie to avoid The Lecture, the most dangerous thing about anti-smoking among doctors is that once they learn you smoke, they blame everything on smoking instead of looking further for the actual cause of what ails you. I know several cases where serious underlying conditions were missed that would have been looked for in a nonsmoker. That in itself becomes a good reason to lie. Additionally “stop smoking” as the recommended cure is now the equivalent of their saving themselves from having to admit that they simply don’t know what’s causing your symptoms. The final danger is that because of the anti-smoker bias, smokers delay going to docs when they should, and also avoid going to hospitals when they should, not willing to face the prison- like atmosphere and the added stress of enforced cold turkey.

Mike, hope you’re well now and don’t have to do that again but if you do, get a friend to bring in a pastrami sandwich.

It looks as though tobacco control in the UK is more or less played out. It has nowhere to go. The Government can bring in PP and no smoking in cars if it wants to. But what difference will either of those proposals make? Who is going to chase after people who are smoking in their cars? There is no organisation to apply swingeing fines to. Who cares about nasty pics on fag packets? I do not even see them any more on the packets that I get from Spain. I do not avoid looking – I get a particular brand and open the packets when I want to use them. I do not even look at the packet in any detail at all. I just open it.
My main point is that I just do not care. If smoking was banned in the town centre, I would not smoke there. I do not care. More likely, however, is that I would not go to the town centre. If smoking was banned everywhere in the open air, that would be prohibition.
But the smoking ban itself was prohibition to a degree. Odd, is it not, that no one in the media noticed that fact. They were too busy spreading terror.
I find it weird that politicians seem to have lost all sense of direction. They blunder about, even at the top-most level. Gove wants to ‘permit’ headmaster in schools to fine parents who take their children for a few days holiday in term-time. What that means is that he wants to FORCE heads to impose fines. That is just like publicans being forced, under the threat of swingeing fines, to enforce the smoking ban. It stinks.
But where is there to go? Miliband wants more of the same. When will THE PEOPLE rebel, as they, eventually, must?
I don’t think that Cameron understands. He thinks that strutting about on the world stage is the important thing. It is not. The wellbeing of THE PEOPLE is the important thing, and that does not include tobacco control. Promote peace and prosperity and let the people be.
